Former WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio, now known as Alberto El Patron, announced of him joining the Ring of Honor by posting a video on his official Facebook account on Friday 12th December.

Del Rio, the current AAA world heavyweight champion, was fired from WWE last summer after a physical altercation with a WWE employee. Del Rio later took WWE to court, and got his non-compete clause removed, permitting him to work for any wrestling or MMA promotion he wanted to. The two major organizations that were mentioned in Del Rio’s non-compete clause were the UFC and TNA Impact wrestling.
